Narrative Arc

The message which my Documentary will discuss will be based upon different definitions of Women and Women's experiences of Girlhood/Womanhood and discussing some topics which may be associated with it such as Confidence, Women's Oppression and the word #SHE which will be the main focus of my documentary.

The opening point will consist of the opening scene which will be a different shots of different girls from different backgrounds, colours, shapes, sizes and looks and the middle it will hashtag #SHE, it should be noticed that whilst these pictures are coming up, there will be different voice overs playing of girls saying different adjectives which describe them. It will then change to myself (however i will not be scene in the camera) asking 3 different questions which will be things such as 'If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be' and etc which will be answered by different people from different ethnicity and age groups in order to identify what sort of responses they will give.

Through this, I want my audience to be able to understand and think about what has been presented to them as well as forming their own opinion. The aim of the questions is i just want my audience to just think and to be really attentive on every word that is said and how particular experiences or even society itself has affect the way that different ranges, even young people think.

I aim to not make the questions too long winded and long there straight to the point so I will cut each interview to the specific answer of each Interview whilst ensuring that I have included a range of Interviews. Also, In order to understand this topic further, i will have to research a lot into this topic and make sure that I interview people that will make the documentary as informative as i can therefore requiring me to get in touch with some known youtubers which I have contacted but am still awaiting replies and will be asking friends and family with different age ranges in order to make the data which I collect much more reliable.
Furthermore, I will be asking random youths about their opinions also if necessary.

I will conclude end my documentary with a very striking question which has not yet been decided however I do not want the influence the opinion of my viewers, however I just want to present information to them so that they are able to make up their own opinons.
